Forty thousand pounds of dried prunes loaded in two Southern Pacific cars left Corvallis last Thursday - for Portland. They were shipped by H. M. Stone and were grown principally by Hugh Finley. The prunes left here in sacks, but on ar riving in Portland it is the custom to grade and box them before reshipping to the East. The price obtained has not been made public. ' Louis Southworth, of Lower Alsea, has been doing business in Corvallis dur- the past few days. Mr. Southworth came to Oregon from the South in 1850 and during the Rogue River Indian war he served the "state with considerable distinction. For many years past he has resided on the Lower Alsea, where he is held in high esteem by his neighbors. Mr. Southworth, much against his wishes, is a resident of Lincoln county. During the county division fight in 1892 lie strenuously opposed the movement and still believes that it was unwise. ; '"Attorney Wallis Nash was in town this week attending session of Referee Wood cock's court. Recently Mr. Nash formed a partnership with J.'F. Boothe for tie practice of law. . The firm name is Nash & Boothe, and they have offices 407-8 Commercial block, Portland. Both gen tlemen are experienced lawyers and their prospects for success are indeed flattering'. Union services were conducted at the Presbyterian and Methodist churches last Sunday evening, and similar services will be held in two of the different churches next Sunday night These meetings are being held in anticipation of union revival services to begin next week under the charge of two evangel ists who are now engaged iu a similar work at Albany. The new hard-wood sawmill near the S. P, depot began operations last Friday afternoon. At present Mr. Martyn is engaged in filling a contract with Port land parties for 25,000 feet of ash lum ber. The lo?s are being gotten out by Harvey Sargent, and are hauled by teem from points up the river. There is a growing demand for hard-wood lumber, which meets with ready sale at fair prices. - - ' A. M. Witham is back frcm an extended visit to his daughter, who resides at Sacramento. Mr. Witham's impressions of California water and cli mate are anything but favorable, acd he returned to Corvallis a more thorough Oregonian than ever. His experience though, is only similar to that of other Oregonians who leave their native heath. They always ret-rn welL satisfied with Webfoot Some miscreant took himself down to the ferry landing Sunday evening with a pistol to display his prowess as a shooter. Two shots struck the residence of Mrs. Beach who lives just across the river, and one bullet came near striking one of the inmates of the dwelling. It was a close shave and the guilty party should be summarily dealt with. But speaking of close shaves there are none nicer than Spencer's. The Benton County Teachers' Associa tion will meet at the public school build ing in this city next Saturday. The pro gram promises to be an interesting one. Prof. S. I. Pratt will give a talk on the subject of language to be be followed by a general discussion led by Prof. W. B. Haines, of Philomath. The subject of reading wilfrbe handled by Prof. W. W. Bristow, of this city. The discussion of the latter topic is to be led by Mrs. Nelms. Persons traveling between Portlard and San Francisco are deriving the ben efit just now of a rate war between the O. R. & N. Co. and the Southern Pacific The latter company is offering to carry passengers on its "Sunset Limited" for $5, including berth in tourist sleepers and with Pullman accommodations the rate is only $10. The O. R. & N. Co.'s rates by its steamers are $2.50 steerage and $ 5.00 cabin. A great many are said to be taking advantage of these rates. Maharas' minstrels appeared at the opera house Tuesday night before a small audience. They have two fair singers, a good contortionist and an orchestra above the average, but as a whole the entertainment was coarse and uniuter esting and deserved no better patronage than it received. They cracked the same jokes and sang the same old songs with which they attempted to entertain Corvalhsites when here last season. They and give a bum show. If they appear in Corvallis again with such a snide combination they -will de serve a shower of back number eggs. ' Referee Woodcock held another set ting of his court here this week. Since Monday the time has been spent in tak ing testimony iu the matter of claims to which objections have been filed. . An other setting of thi3 court will be held at Salem commencing December 10th, at which time argument of counsel will be heard upon the various claims. The change to Salem is for the purpose of giving attorneys the advantage of access to the state's library. Referee Wood cock expects to make his final report January 22d, at which time Judge Fuller ton will hold an adjourned setting of the, circuit Court in this city".'"' " W. E. Yates, of Crawfordsville, Lian county, is visiting his brother, W. Yates, of Corvallis. However, the first is nam ed Walter Emery and the latter William Elliott. Mr. Yates is a prominent Linn county farmer, and also an influential republican, he having been a potent fac tor in the republican landslide that struck his county at the last election. Mr. Yates resides near the Templeton fan, where the recent tripple murder occurred. He says the feeling in that neighborhood against Lloyd Montgomery, the confessed murderer, was very hih, and had the facts been brought out against the pris oner during the coroner's inquest, he would probably have been lynched. Oscar Tom, of Alsea-valley, came to town last Friday with a wagoa load of produce which he found little trouble in disposing of. His load included 650 pounds of choice honey which was left for sale with P. M. Zierolf, several hun dred pounds of dressed mutton and a number of bushels of prime potatoes, The potatoes are of the Peerless variety and are very large. Mr. Tom, however, considered them below the average in size, claiming that this had been a dry season and in consequence potatoes this fall were unusually small. Still one of them weighed t, pounds, while a box jcontaining elevenof these monster tubers tipped the beam at 49 j pounds. Truly Alsea soil is a great producer and a more successful tiller of it than Oscar Tom will be hard to find. Buy the old reliable Woonsocket rub ber boots and shoes. Full line at Nolan & Callahan's.

The suggestion made bylhe Gazkttk last week in regard to tho organization of a crack drill company from among tho O. A. C. cidets is meeting with general favor. Al ready tho boys are quite enthusiastic over the matter and seem anxious that tho naces sary arrangements be made as speedily as possible. . There nrj now 230 young men receiving military instruction at the college, and from that number Lieut. Dentlersays he can or ganize a company of seventy-two men, in cluding officers, that could make a creditable showing with any company the Oregon Na tional Guards could trot out. He claims that tho military instruction the cadets are receiving covers more ground than that re ceived by national guardsmen, which, in a contest for points, would bo advatngeous to tho student. Boforo the matter can bo gone at systemat ically, however, it will be necessary for tho college to secure at least ono hundred addi tional rifles. , At present the institution has but one hundred guns, so that only ona lmlf of tho boys can drill at a time. Thee guns, too, besides being of two different sizes, are many of them sadly in need of repair. The iient : ait is partial to tho Springfield endat rifle for use by the students, and last summer made a requisition upon the board for ono hundred such arms and the matter was acted upon favorably by tho board of regents. The federal government furnishes the guns freo at the arsenal, but requires a bond suffi cient to indemnify it against loss, besides re quiring the college authorities to pay the freight on the guns to their destination, nnd to keep them insured aftor their arrival at the institution. As such an arrangement would entail considerable expense, the board concluded to first apply to Governor Lord for tho necessary guns, but it is not at all likely that this arrangement can be efTjcted. The board will meet again during the first week in January, at which time this matter will receivo further attention. In addition to tho rifles the board ought t o ask tho war department for at least two field pieces. Then an artillery squad could be drilled, and tho military instruction of the college would not be confined to infantry tac tics alono. Besides, it would be an intensely interesting feature of tho military work, and would have the effect of adding interest and enthusiasm to that important branch of tho Cjllego course. A SHOT FR02X KOSfiBURO. The following statement of the receipts of several postoffices in Oregon is from tho government repoit for tho past year: K)se burg. 4,791; Ashland, 53,550; Grants Pass, $3,773; Medford, $2,834; Mai-shSoid, f2,S18; McMinnvillo, $3,450; Corvallis, 1,243. Commenting on tho above, the Roseburg Review says; "It will be noticed thatRosc burg is far in the lead of nil theso pretentious towns, crowding closely upon such cities as E i gene, Albnry and Pjndleton which are a size larger." While tha report indicates that tho re ceipts of tho Roseburg offica exceed, by about 500, the receipts of tho Corvallis of fice, it is doubtless afactthtlho Corvallis ojik-e handlus more mail than any in the state, with the exception of Portland, Sa lem, Astoria, The Dalles, Pendleton and Eaknr City. Here is located the govern ment experiment station, from which is issued annually from 50,000 to 75,000 bulle tins for general distribution throughout the United States, and these aro all handled by the Corvallis office in addition to the regular mail matter. As they are sent out gratui tously by the government, tho offico hero derives no rcvenuo from them, and, further mre, tho extra work put upon the Corvallis office is evidently not taken into considera tion by the postal department in the allow ance made for clerk hire. At Roseburg tho rocvipss of tho offico are but 551 in excess of the revenue of tho Corvallis office, yet that office is allowed 500 for clerk hire, bo tides 242 for its freo delivery service, while an allowance of only 200 is rnadu for clerk hire here. In other words, the Roseburg office with reeoi its of 4,794, is allowed 1,600 for salary of postmaster, 500 for clork hire and 242 for free dolivery service, or a total of 2,312, while Corvallis, with re ceipts of 4,243, .receives 1,000 for salary of postmaster, and 200 for clerk hire, making a total of 1,800, or 542 less than is allowed the Roseburg office, which really handles less mail matter than the Corvallis office. Roseburg, under the circumstances, should have little to say about "these pretentious towns" so long as the expense of her office is proportionately greater than that of her less pretentious sister towns. AT THE OPERA HOUSIJ. Tho theatrical patrons of Corvallis will be given a great treat at the Opera House Thanksgiving night when the Smith-Liob Company, the best company now playing r Oregon, will appear and present for the tirst time here, the very laughable comedy "The Arabian Nights," and the romantic curtain raiser "The Violin Maker of Cremona." The Oregonian says: "Another crowded house greeted the Smith-Liob Company last evening, when they, by special request,' again presented 'The Arabian Nights.' It seems that the public never tire of witnessing the porformanco given by this excellent compa ny., as ono could seo tho same faces that wore there on the presentation of that ro mantic drama on tho opening night. We do not hesitate to state that this is the best or ganization that ever raised a curtain hore. Carl Smith has demonstrated that ho is a lflndiner man. second to none, and Beatrice Lieb, well, nothing but praise can be be stowed upon this charming actress, for she proved too, that she ranks among the load ing women on the American stage. Ihe engagement, which was for four nights only. closes tonight, and no doubt it will be a long time before we see such an excellent compa ny again." . : . Notwithstanding the great expense incurr- el in bringing this excellent organization here, the management has arranged the schedule of prices at only 25, 35 and 50 cents. A crowded house is assured, as the advance sale already is quite large. The college boys hare roserved a number of seats, and the football teams will attend in a body, Those desiring to spend a pleasant Thanksgiving, should reserve their seats at once. They can be had at Conover's Stationery Store.

Eddyville, Lincoln county, indulged in tl e luxury of a jary trial last week, the first ore in the history of the precinct. The village blacksmith, Wm Wilson, and C. C. Mc Bride, the store keeper, had a misundci standing three weeks ago, which resulted in a black eyo for the blacksmith, who, not built in tho mold that seems to fashion most smithies, being slight and rather weak. But "all things come to him who waits," two weeks later the two mot at McBride's store, and while McBrido was pouring out some oil for Wilson, the latter poured balm on his own bruised spirit, by rapping Mc Bride over the head severly with an ax han dle. Wilson was arrested, charged with an assault with a dangerous weapon with intent to kill, and tho trial eame off last Wednes day, before Justice Lucky. A. L. McFad den represented tho state, and H. L. llol gate appeared for defendant. After consul tation and some argument, tho information was withdrawn and Wilson was tried for as sault and battery. He claimed he thought McBride wa.rabout to assault him whon ho struck tho storekeeper. McBride, who was pretty badly injured, said the assault was un provoked, and took him unawares. No one else saw the fracas. Some testimony favor able to McBride was introduced and the law yers said their say. Then, about 4 p. m., tho justice, constable, defendant, lawycis and spectators adjourned and camped out side, leaving the jury in possession of tho court room. Jt was bad camping. Tho wind was blowing and tho air was cold. The jury hung fire, and the defendant told the justice he was willing to plead to the charge of assault and battery, so the J . P. sent word for the jury to come to some agreement, but they wouldn't do it. Tho defendant was convinced of his guilt, but the juiy . wasn't. Eight o'clock, 9 o'clock 10 o'clock, and the jury still hung out. Defendant and his coun sel were cold and sleepy; they insisted on pleading guilty. Tho justice again sent word to tho jury, but tho jury wouldn't even agree to disagree. Finally the spectators and the lawyers and the officer became desperate and at midnight backed up by their influence the justice firmly told the jury that they must bring in some verdict; that the defend' ant was anxious to plead guilty, and at least the jury should agree to disagree. Then the jury brought in a verdict of "guilty" on condition that the justice impose tho lowest fine. The justice said "ten dollars," and court adjourned. STAY BE APPEALED. It is possible that tho case of Frank Hol comb, recently convicted of the crime of larceny, and sentenced to two years in the penitentiary, will be appealed to the supreme court. Throughout his trial, there seemed to bo a determined effort to fasten the crimo solaly upon Cornell, who was jointly indict ed with Holcomb. Their counsel saved a number of exceptions, and have taken tho necessary stcp3 toward appealing the case should Holcomb's friends in Washington county conclude to do so. . Before adjourn ment the court made tho following orders: In tho circuit court of the state of Oregon, for the county of Benton: The State of Oregon, plaintiff, I vs. i Cause for Frank Holcomb &Dell Cor-j Appeal, nell, defendants. - J I hereby certify that in my opinion there is prob'ible cause for tho appeal in the above entitled case. J. O. FULLERTON, Judge of the 2nd Judicial District or The State of Oregon. Dati l, November 201895. In the circuit court of tho state of Oregon, for the county of Benton: The State of Oregon vs. y Appeal j.' ranK xioiconiD oj veil uornoil It is hereby ordered that Frank Holcomb, one of defendants above named, be admitted to bail, pwiding his appeal to tho supremo court of the state, in the above entitled cause, and that the amount of bail is fixed at five hundred dollars. J. C. FULLERTON, Judge. Should tho case bo appealed, Holcomb will be able to secure his release irom the penitentiary immediately after the service of the notice of appeal, providing, of course, that the required bond is furnished. . If his counsel is successful before the supreme court the case will be remanded back to the lower court for another hearing, but if not, ho will bo compelled to sorre out his term at Salem. . FOOTBALL TODAY. More real hard work has been in dulged in by the O. A.

Their op ponents are heavier and well trained, but their newness at football, it is said, will count against them.

CREAM 4 ' Most Perfect Made. 40 Years the Standard. -1 mm CAPT. WINANT DROWNED. Word reached hero last Friday noon of the loss of the steam schooner Bandorille, and the drowning of her master, 'Cn.pt.-J.- J. Winant. ; The wreck was caused by tho breaking of the-schooner's rudder cha'n, leaving the vessel at the mercy of tho waves on the Umpqua bar. Capt. Winant was in the pilot house at the time, and ran aft to at tempt repairs, but in so doing, was washed overboard. ' He wa3 apparently dazed by the fall for a time, as he paid no attention to the lines thrown to him by tho crew. Liter on, however, he picked up a life buoy that had been thrown out and adjusted it, but the heavy swell tore it from his grasp. His body was recovered by the life saving crew within thirty minutes, but all efforts at re suscitation were futile, . The following sketch of Capt. Winant's life is taken from the Oregonian of Saturday: Capt. Winant was one of the best-known and most popular coasting captains running into Portland. He was thoroughly acquaint ed with the coast, and wits an able sailor and a brave man. Ho was born in Now York in 1838, and had a varied career in tho marine business. He had been master of vessels on the Pacific coast for nearly a third of a cen tury, having had command of the schooner Anna G. Doyle, running between Willapa harbor, Yaquina bay and San Francisco, in the early '60s. Captain Winant was pilot of the first sea-going steamer that entered Ya quina b8y. He was master of the Mischief, a coasting steam schooner, for several years before he took charge of the Bandorille. Captain Winant took great interest' in the development of the coast country, and did everything in his power to divert the trade of the Southern Oregon ports to this city. He was a ready writer, and contributed many letters on this and other subjects to the iiews papors. His home was in San Francisco, and his two children, both small girls, are at school in Oakland. His wife died a few years ago. Tho steamer Bandorille was formerly tho George H. Chance. The Chance was built at Yaquina in 18S9 for a Portland deep-sea fishing company. In 1893, she was br night to I hi: city, and at ono of theyaids in tho North End was lengthened and practically rebuilt. . It was then that hor name was changed to Bandorille which i.-t derived from the words Bandon and Coquille. Captain Winant was very proud of the name, which was I113 own invention. - The steamer was exceedingly staunch, as is shown by her pres ent condition after her rough buffeting by tho waves, and sho was, for a small boat, quite seaworthy. She was valued at about 20,000, and was insured. THE DAVIS FAILURE. Just before noon "on last Friday the doors of tho store of Z. H. Davis & Co. were closed by the sheriff in an attachment case brought against the firm by George W. Honkle, of Independence. The cause of ac tion alleged in this complaint is two promis sory notes for the sums of $3,269.90 and $510.10, the second note being assigned to Henklo by John Burnett, in whoso favor it was originally drawn. Within a few hours after this attachment a second action was commenced by J. R. Bryson, a3 assignee of Hamilton, Job & Co., to recover 4,800 and interest at 10 par cent, since February 21, 1895, and another attach ment placed on the property of the defend ants. Immediately following, I. L. White, of Portland, ran a third attachment. His claim amounts to about 600 for a balance duo on a note originally for $988.10. Satur day morning R. L. Sabin, as assignee of sev eral Portland creditors, filed tho fourth com plaint in which he demands judgment for an aggregate amount of about$3,500. It is understood that there are other claims against this firm, on which no action has been commenced for tho reason that the stock on hand, and other property of Z. H.
